Organic Cotton

From t-shirts to socks, sweatshirts to joggers... Organic Cotton is woven into a wide selection of our clothing for both men and women. In this guide we run through the exceptional benefits of this super soft and super sustainable fabric...

What is Organic Cotton?

Organic Cotton is cotton grown from natural seeds, without the use of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and Genetically Modified Organisms, which are used in the growth of conventional cotton.

Organic Cotton vs Conventional Cotton

Statistics show that conventional cotton producers use as much as 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the world's pesticides on their crop. These chemicals can end up in our water systems, food and farm animals which eventually lead to being in our own bodies as carcinogens which can potentially lead to cancer. According to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 20,000 deaths each year are down to pesticide poisoning in developing countries.

Conventional cotton also uses huge amounts of water, it takes tens of thousands of litres to produce 1kg of cotton, the equivalent of a single t shirt. Organic cotton uses far less water, lessening the impact on our environment as the crop is mainly rain fed rather than irrigated.
